Clockwork

“Today, I got a RIF book. It was called Clockwork. I chose this book because it looked interesting. The author is Philip Pullman, the author of The Golden Compass. It has afterward bonus features. It won a Silver Medal in 1997 for smartest prize, a school library journal [award], and a New York Public Library [award] in 1998. [It is] a tale to return to time after time. Thank you for the mystery Scholastic book.  Sincerely, Noe”

“I would like to thank you for letting me choose a book. The book’s title is Clockwork, [Illustrated] by Leonid Gore. I read the first paragraph. This has a lot of adventures too. Also, I chose this book because it looked like a scary book.
The book looks purple with gears of clocks and a [k]night in armor. This is a great [big] thank you for the books. Our class liked it. We [appreciate] it very much.
This day we will never forget the three times we got RIF books from you. Also our class thanks the other people who helped the RIF…reading is the key to success.  Sincerely, Oscar”
